Oh man I wish I'd seen the step by step in this post. It took me about 3 hours (with some distractions) to add the Typhoon. Most of the trouble came from the screw holding the EVAP sensor bracket (WD-40 and removal of the unit from the car to put it in a vice did the trick) and step 19 getting the screw hole on the tube to line up with the support strut and EVAP bracket all at once. It was very tricky with the strut tensioner thing that's on the '09 '10 GTs. Anyways it's on and it sounds awesome! I've never modded anything in a car engine before, so this was fun!

Glad to hear you got it installed and are enjoying it ;)! I didn't even bother with that whole setup with the EVAP solenoid and all. I just zip tied it to the bracket that attaches to the engine block. So much easier :P!
